11:05Selina Johnson-So Jerry. Only for rea.s.surance I gotta ask, what did I break or throw at night? Jane got a good sleep?
-Well she was fine. But I am really going to miss all the wine that you spilled across the bed. Those were not regular you know.
-Okay. I am not arguing on this one. But I don"t remember anything.
-(Sighs)...I was done cleaning up when you got my attention. A stunning woman soaked in alcohol. In freaking WINE!!
-...Thanks; I guess?
-Um no!
-Excuse me??
-Not yet; I changed the bedcover, also threw away the bottles of perfectly fine wine that you wasted.
-I am really..
-You may not have noticed but you"re wearing different clothes,- Now that"s something you immediately investigate after hearing about it. I was being too much comfortable with him to notice anything significant about the surroundings.
-Yeah...I see. Nice stocking and I am loving the coat. Always a fan of longline. They are so similar to mine.
-Well the skirt isn"t. Cause yours, dark brown one was in the ground by the time I placed new bed sheets. Then it was a real pain to get you to sleep.
-...,- I was aware of my drunk self from my past experiences. But I think this time I took it too far.
-I will just have a hard time explaining these scratches to Layla. You tore through my shirt. Wouldn"t want to be on your bad side if situation calls.
-...Jerry.
-It"s okay, don"t take this seriously.
-...
-So, I went ahead and inquired about your parkour kid at the clinic.
-Hmm. What"s his situation?
-Good. Doc told me that she tried contacting you afterwards but couldn"t get to you.
-Geez; and you"re trying to leave Jane with me. (Sighs)I am slipping.
-No, you were slipped cause of all those alcohol.
-If you say so. Alright I need to get to the clinic. Let"s meet up with Layla and Jane for now.
-Alright. They should be..
-I see them. There, over the bus stop.

-Alright sweetie. Bye now.
-Come home soon. Tonight you"ll cook and I am going to help!
-I will try Jane. But it"s so much work today. You know right? Police don"t get to have holidays?
-Yes...Alright then, get those bad guys Sel.
-Yes Ma"am!- If you had done something differently, it wouldn"t be you. It would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions. Seeing her smiling face, I felt satisfied with me being me, not the other girl; asking questions I don"t have answers to.
-...
-Hey! Chin up Layla. I am not stealing your man. Listen, you are a fine young woman; and beautiful in all senses. Your life is sorted out whereas mine is still broken, if you haven"t noticed that already.
-I noticed that. That"s why I am being careful here with you.
